ALEXANDER • traveled in October
The route was frankly ridiculous, way to long ,the way I made it was by not doing gravel, but state roads,not what I wanted but the only way to get from hotel to hotel. Also I did climb the 1500meter mountain between France and Spain, it was a challenge and you mentioning age group to 90 years old is deceiving. But I had a challenging great time,just what I signed up for
